Re: 75 Dually build
Nice to see you back and glad to hear that the wedding stuff went well. That is definitely a lot of work and costs a lot too.

Re: 75 Dually build
So the dually has not moved all summer. Tonight I got the air ride hooked back up and functioning. At least the dually can move again under it's own power. Now I can get one of my cars in the shop and fix it's failing oil pump. Man that truck takes up a lot of room!

Re: 75 Dually build
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I worked on the truck as much as I could today, we have a lot of bad weather heading our way tonight so I wanted to get as much done as possible. I got the front end aligned so at least I can get it to the alignment shop without tearing up the front tires. I did some work on getting the doors a little bit better gapped. I also did very tedious things like make the support plates that will go under the mounting bolts for the seats, all 16 of them!. The floor pan metal is too light for my tastes so I wanted some thicker material for the mounting bolts.
So some progress here and there... |

Re: 75 Dually build
First the body shop guys need to keep their laughter to themselves on this one. With that being said I have wanted to use one of the big round erasers that body shops use to remove the double sided tape that holds the trim on and the vinyl striping, but I always seem to forget them when I pick up my paint supplies. Well I got some the other day and they are fantastic. It took off the old vinyl striping on the drivers door in just under 5 minutes. Wow! And it did not hurt the paint below. All I did after I got done using it was wipe the door down and was done faster than I thought possible. The body shop guys have some of the coolest tools!!
I also did the front passenger fender as well. I will do the rest of the passenger doors this weekend. What a time saver. Ok you body shop guys, be kind... |

Re: 75 Dually build
Looks good from where I'm setting. And yeah, those little rubber wheels save the time and finger nails for sure!

Re: 75 Dually build
Got the dually out of the shop today for the first time in a long time. I needed to fix one of our family cars and was going to need a ton of tools to get it done. So out went the dually and in went the car. Plus it gave me a chance to clean out the shop at the same time. I took the truck around the block and that was a blast. Can't wait until this thing is road worthy and street legal!!
I also got my TIG setup this weekend. Started to run a couple of test beads once everything was setup correctly. Was a bit rusty at first, but it started to come back after a few minutes. Been waiting on this for a long time. Wait until you see what I am going to be doing with it. Last edited by 75Dually; 12-07-2015 at 12:41 AM. |

Re: 75 Dually build
Looking good. Will be starting on mine shortly. Hope it comes out as good as I'm thinking it will.

Re: 75 Dually build
I had this old grill just laying around the shop gathering dust (in Lubbock, TX that is not a hard thing to do!) so I thought I would put it to good use. I have collected Hot Wheels for a long time, and it was high time some of them came out to get displayed. Let me know what you think... ;D

Re: 75 Dually build
That's a pretty sweet grill. Man I keep looking at your truck, and it really makes me not want to body my truck. I just really like it, plus it will help my 24's not have so much to mod.
